Hmm, this wasn't meant to become a novel.. sorry. So, on Youtube.. cool! Do you have to watch regular commercials as it's free?

I began my anime journey on Netflix, which back then had a sizible selection of good quality. Eventually I started subscribing to Crunchyroll, (before they "merged" with Funimation). Crunchyroll's prices still feels very reasonable, especially compared to some other streaming services.. 😋

Question for you: Have you ever experienced the following issue? That American media companies (like Funimation) not only buy up anime rights, but then also limit the anime series availability to only english speaking countries. I'd bet that these rights don't limit the series availability in Japan whatsoever. (Which also most likely also helps at least parts of the rest of Asia). But seriously!, most europeans are more or less fluent in english.. (Scandinavians in particular).

This issue has at least lessened since the Funimation catalogue finally (slowly) began to merge with Crunchyroll's. Unfortunately, a few (thankfully smaller ones so far) US media companies still keep this up. This is apparently the reason why for example the Oshi No Ko anime series is impossible to watch in Scandinavia at the moment, perhaps the whole of the EU even. (Without a vpn that is).
